I graduated from Pratt School of Information & Library Science in 2008.
Although I am a newbie, I was born to be a librarian!

While at Pratt I had the privilege of being part of Pratt and Brooklyn Public Library's PULSE Traineeship [1]. In my first year I completed 3 month rotations at about 15 different branches shadowing YA, J and A supervising librarians. In my second year I spent time "behind the scenes" with BPL's foundation, neighborhood services and literacy departments. This was an incredible experience and only increased my enjoyment in librarianship.

After Pratt I accepted a position with BPL's Literacy Program. I am now a YA literacy librarian working with a team to create and implement a pre-ged/literacy program for 16-24 year olds reading below a 6th grade level. In addition to this program I am also working to launch a pilot book-a-librarian service at our central branch. I am also interested in informal professional development and was part of a crew that launched our system's first unconference style program.

I am very happy to be part of ALA Emerging Leaders program and am working with a great bunch of librarians from around the US and the PLA subcommittee on programming for PLA 2010. Team C rocks!
